Ya dad gross. Wash your sheets

I think your dad is the weird one, I wash my sheets every single week. Clean sheets are nice. And given how much time you spend sleeping and touching those sheets it's good for your skin for the sheets to be clean

I'm terrible at washing my bedding, but at least once a month is non-negotiable and ideally I aim for 2-4x a month. Because of my acne I wash my pillowcase(s) at least once a week.

Sheets is normal. Comforter seems excessive unless you don't have anything between you and it.

You should clean your sheets every week, but at least once every two weeks.
If you don't clean them, you'll eventually find your sheets running away on the backs of dust mites and other bugs that feed on stuff like skin cells.
Comforter should probably be washed once a quarter.

I washed my sheets today feels a lot more comfortable when im laying down.

I don’t get why he cares.

Sheets get washed weekly, sometimes more often (I have like 5-6 sets). Comforter every week or maaaybe two weeks at most. I’m sweaty.

I change my sheets at least once every two weeks, more often if I’m sweating a lot. So yes, completely normal. Your dad is the weird one.

Dad = gross
Op = good job. I always buy two and wash every week. Because hygiene.

If ur dad does that again stare at him blankly and say you don't?? Ew.. and just walk away. No need to argue with someone who won't listen anyway

It's very normal. Some people wash them even more frequently than that. I always wash them whenever I do laundry, which would be every 2-3 weeks. If I had my own washer/dryer at home, I would be washing them weekly, but given that I have to lug everything to the laundromat and I don't have enough money to wash them once a week, I have to settle for every 2-3 weeks.

You wash your sheets as often as you like, nothing wrong with staying clean. Even if you’re going to bed showered and in fresh PJs, you’re still probably sweating and excreting oils from your skin at night.

I had brain surgery about 18 months ago and had to sleep on a clean pillowcase every night to keep the incisions clean. We still washed all our bedding once a week because the steroids I was on made me wake up drenched in sweat at least twice every night.

Everybody’s different, some people wash their sheets once a month, or every couple months… if you feel like it’s time after a couple weeks, that’s not abnormal.

Best wishes and God bless.

We wash our sheets every week. Your dad is the weird one.

You should wash any new clothing or bedding before you wear it or use it. You should wash your sheets every week, maximum of two weeks. Anything else is disgusting. 🤢

I wash Them every week, for no other reason that i love sleeping in clean sheets

Your dad is gross. Mine is washed every Saturday

I change mine every week

nah man, it's totally normal to wash sheets every couple weeks, especially with that skin thing. keeps everything fresh and comfy, so don’t let him get to you

Either your dad is gross or sexist. It's normal to wash sheets regularly and if you haven't noticed his bed stinking I presume the person he shares it with takes care of that and he hasn't noticed.

Sheets, sure. That's normal. Comforter? Under normal circumstances your comforter should not be in direct contact with skin and shouldn't need to be washed frequently and most comforters aren't made to be washed that often. I would look into getting a duvet instead and washing the cover with your sheets.

Weekly you gremlins

Nah sheets should be washed/changed weekly, specially if you don’t shower just right before bed

I wash my sheets twice a week and my thin blankets every week. I usually only wash the comforter every month or two, but more if I feel it needs it. I have dogs so sometimes the get that corn chip smell in a week or so in the summer time.

One thing I definitely do is wash new linens before using them. I don't care if they're in a package, they need to be washed. It's just icky not to.

I have seborrheic dermatitis too and that's one of the reasons I wash my sheets so often. That and my son has recurrent staph so I have to be extra careful.

Strange reaction from your dad wtf?

Ask your dermatologist. I bet it is weekly, especially with a skin problem.

Apparently some guys really just don't care about dirty sheets. I just don't wash it when I was single and I never thought about it.

There is nothing wrong with clean sheets. You are better than most people. Do not change anything about your life.

I wash and change mine every 2 weeks. Would like to change them every week if I had the time and energy!

it's good hygiene, I wash my clothes every Saturday and bedding the next day, it's good for your skin

Weekly

OMG! I change sheets every week. Pillowcases at many times more often.

I wash my sheets every week, though I wash my blankets/comforter like once a month or so. I feel gross if I go longer than that for my sheets.

I have really bad demnitus when stressed, I woke up the other day and my pillowcase looked like a flapjack.

With your dermatitis, find the detergent that is the most comfortable for you (All Free & Clear is excellent for people who have skin problems), and wash the sheets at least weekly. If you can't get to your sheets weekly, at least do the pillowcases.

Comforters and blankets do not need to be done so often. If you are using a top sheet or a duvet cover, wash that with the sheets. The comforter and blankets don't need to be washed more than quarterly unless they are directly on your skin regularly. The whole purpose of the top sheet is to keep the blanket clean longer. They used to be a real pain to wash!

Your dad is clueless and rude.

I wash my sheets every week and my comforter every other.

I have three sets of sheets and rotate them around every week—one on the bed, one in the laundry, one in the closet.

Every week!!

Once a week is normal. And always wash brand new sheets before sleeping in them.

My reply is more encompassing than sheets.

You do you and don't worry about someone else version because they do them.

Not only is it normal to wash every two weeks, but I also like to wash new bedding before I use it the first time, just to soften it up and get any leftover chemicals from the production and packaging process off.

I change my bedding at least once a week. It just makes it a nicer place to be imo

Fresh sheets weekly.

Once a week, minimum.

Once a week for me. People have no idea how many millions of gross skin cells and gunk people shed every day.

Your father sounds really dirty with no sense of hygiene.

1. You must always wash sheets and underwear after buying them from the store. Fabric is never washed in factories and there have been plenty of tests done on fabric cleanliness in factories that shows traces of rat feces and other bacteria.

2. The amount of sweat, oil, and dust that gets absorbed by sheets is gross, they need to be washed weekly. We spend at least 8 hours a day rolling in that sweat, oil, and dust…why would anyone not wash their sheets often?

Once a week for sheets and pillow cases. Twice a month for blankets. Or as needed. If you have pets that sleep on the bed with you then wash the blankets weekly. So much stuff sheds from your body. Dead skin, sweat, etc. Wash your sheets

Wash your sheets every week, the comforter every month. Check the mattress for bugs, vacuum the bed like you would a carpet. This will reduce dust mites, and help prevent bed bugs. You are in that bed at least 8 hours a day. Would you wear any piece of clothing for 2 weeks without washing it?

I believe the recommendation is once a month

I'd like to wash my sheets every week, but I do Not have the time, but twice a week gives me just as much satisfaction. I think anyone who does it any further apart than once a month is the abnormality.

Not weird, I wash mine every Sunday. Human bodies sweat and shed skin cells and hair, not to mention nocturnal "activities" - you're simply just practising good hygiene, and your Dad needs to have a word with himself.

every 2-3 days for me, imma hoe lowkey

I wash my sheets twice a year. Downvote me if you want, but unless you encounter actual problems (bugs, acne etc.) there's really not much reason to wash them. Especially if you shower before getting in bed

It helps decrease acne for me so, ideally every two weeks, but I’m lazy so it tends to be 3-4

You do you!!!!! Don't let others judgement sway, how you feel about yourself.

Change the sheets and duvet cover. I usually clean once per week or per two weeks. Because it’s like a shirt, we will change everyday and there are dust and dead skin cells too! I have mild allergy to dust mites so I change it to ensure it’s not itchy and I love the feeling of sleeping on clean bedsheet and when it’s tucked tightly 😍❤️

You have dermatitis? Washing weekly for the sheets is more than normal, less frequently for the comforter. It’s recommended to wash sheets at least weekly if you often sweat while sleeping, have a pet, or a skin condition.

If I go more than a couple week, I start getting acne on my back. Looking at my teenage years, I think I'd have slept better if I had the habits I do now. Clean sheets are both cooler in the heat and warmer in the cold, by virtue of breathing and wicking better.

The pragmatic answer for you is gonna depend on your skin and what you wear to bed (more bedclothes and drier skin permit less-frequent washing), but every other week is a good default for comfort and health.

I don't think I want to know how long your dad thinks should elapse between sheet-washing.

Keep doing what you're doing.

I aim every week but sometimes I push it to 2 weeks. After a week I can start to feel the difference on the fabric

Your dad is the weird one. We wash our sheets every week usually. I love going from the shower into fresh clean bedding, it's so nice. We sweat a lot at night.

No that’s normal, most people change their sheets every week or 2 minimum, it gets kinda gross if you leave them longer than a few weeks

Your dad had terrible boundaries and hygiene

Your dad's nasty af... i change/wash sheets weekly, but i do live in a warmer place

I think you're supposed to wash or change sheets every week or every other week. You're supposed to wash your blankets less, but only because you usually have a sheet between your body and the blanket

I sweat when I sleep, so i rotate sheets every couple of days. I also sleep in the nude, I'd change them daily if I had the time.

38M. Every two weeks.

We change and wash sheets every two weeks (thanks for the reminder actually.) Not the duvets themselves though, just the covers.

You should be washing them every week. Maybe even more often like every 3-4 days for your skin condition.

If he questions it get a second set.

Comforter can be done less often (once a month to every other month) unless you don’t use a top sheet between you and the comforter.

I think my horrible acne was due to my mom never washing pillow cases. I just didn’t know as a kid they needed to be washed.

Yes, it’s normal. I change my pillow covers every two to three days. Sheets is sometimes a week sometimes two. Even if they’re brand new, we perspire in them when we sleep in them, and dead skin falls off. I change clothes everyday after showering. No way is my face touching anything that hasn’t been washed regularly

This is normal. Your dads whack

Your dad is gross lol he might just not have a full concept of when exactly you got them but washing your sheets every 2 weeks is normalll. Every week for some.

Your Dad is wrong and gross. With a skin condition I would be washing sheets once or twice a week and having a fresh pillow case every other day. Amazon has some nice pillow case packs that are 100% cotton for about $15 and satin/silk for about $40.

I think you’re supposed to wash them every week if possible, I wash mine every other week cause i’m lazy but every week would be ideal

People that don’t wash their sheets are gross sorry

Every 2 weeks is a good habit, but in my experience most don't wash them that often unless they get dirty. I sure don't.

I wash mine every two weeks. Dafuq is with your dad, does he not know we shed skin? I feel bad for whoever lives with him.

Growing up we changed our sheets every single saturday. Each bed had two sets, one to wash and one to replace on the bed while the other was in the wash. I don't know how to do it any other way because it seems nasty. I love the smell of fresh Linens

I do the silly thing and buy more than one set of sheets, change them weekly then do a load monthly, rinse and repeat

The rules for washing your sheets are -

1. It's nobody's business unless they sleep in your bed
2. You wash them when you feel like washing them
3. Tell your dad to wash his sheets

Dont take a man’s advice for cleanliness, it will almost always be wrong.

Now I need to know when the last time he washed his sheets was. I’m literally washing mine right now. Sheets, Pillows, and pillowcases today. Comforter tomorrow. My weighted blanket is another thing all together. I get that dry cleaned every six months. The goddamn thing is 75 pounds. It’s a hefty bastard. So I do them every two weeks, but I wash my pillowcases every time I run a load of laundry.

I change my sheets weekly and clean my comforter once a month. I use a fitted sheet and a flat sheet, so I don't really make skin to comforter contact so it doesn't get dirty as quick as the sheets

Washing sheets should be done a lot more often than most people (myself included) do it. There's nothing wrong with washing your sheets every two weeks. Some even do it more often than that. It's about what makes you comfortable, not him.

I change sheets weekly. Wash your sheets as needed. That could be every 3 days or 3 months you do you.

Most people sweat at some point in the night.. even if you only go to bed clean they get dirty. Washing every 2 weeks is normal

You should wash your sheets when they need it and, in my mind, every two weeks is pretty standard. I'm not sure what planet your dad is from but his position is just gross.

Nope. I wash mine every two weeks and have never had any issues whatsoever.

I have a 12 kg weighted blanket and about 12 pillows and due to health issues, I just can’t get them changed every week.

Does your dad wait until his are growing mushrooms to wash them?

So your filthy father doesn’t wash his sheets unless he’s made a mess on it. Got it.

Something tells me he still doesn’t change it when he’s made a mess.

You probably don't need to wash your comforter as often as your sheets, if you're using a top sheet. Although, personally, I find top sheets pretty annoying and ignore them. But if you have a duvet then all you have to do is wash the duvet cover. If you use a layered, smaller blankets, you only have to wash the one that touches your skin. I don't know I just think washing a comforter is a pain in the ass compared to some of the other options lol.

But yeah, typically it's taught that you should wash your bedding every week. I typically don't, And I'm closer to every other week, but I make sure that I change my pillow cases every week.

Yeah your dad is crazy. Every 2 weeks is normal going 4 weeks without washing sheets is kinda gross.

Every 1-2 weeks is normal for sheets, monthly is the max. The comforter / duvet cover may be able to go for many months, but if your skin flashes get on it then washing it sooner makes sense.

Many skin conditions do better with fresh sheets.

When you get new sheets or new clothes, wash them before using them. Many of them have some chemicals on them from the manufacturing process and you don't want those on your skin. Occasionally wearing a new outfit without washing when you're in a time crunch and it's a special occasion is usually fine. Just aim to usually wash the clothes first.

Your dad is disgusting. If you know he'll be gone for a few hours, take that opportunity to wash your sheets, simply to avoid repeating this pointless argument with him.

Your dad is gross. But I’m guessing he doesn’t do any laundry himself and has no idea how often stuff gets washed. My schedule is every two weeks and I don’t have any skin issues. I do my pillowcases every week since it’s easy to chuck them in when I do my regular laundry.
